Thanks!
stefanvdw1··on Show HN: TwitterToNitter. A bookmarklet that makes reading on Twitter easier
I’ve been wanting to make a browser extension that does this for multiple sites.

Besides Nitter, what other options exists out there for sites such as Reddit or Instagram?

stefanvdw1··on Monorepo Support
This is great! I’ve been using Render to host all my projects ranging from static sites to full blown web apps ever since moving away from Heroku. Their free tier is also pretty good for prototyping.

Recommend it to anyone moving away from Heroku or looking for a cheap place to start.

stefanvdw1··on Hacker News Official API
The API is pretty nice to work with, I’ve used it to build an open source alternative HN client[0].

I do wish it would support login though, but you can’t have it all.

stefanvdw1··on DALL-E 2 extends Michaelangelo’s “Creation of Adam”
But this is a link directly to the content. Someone posted a video to Reddit directly.
stefanvdw1··on ‘Reverse Engineering’ Hacker News into an API
Replicating the features that require being logged in such as upvoting and commenting is actually not trivial.

I recently built a Hacker News client [0] on top of the official API and using the method described in the article to login users is very inconsistent. I kept running into Captcha issues and even when that didn’t happen, sometimes a login request would simply not return the expected token.

Unless the official API starts offering user login, this will remain difficult.

stefanvdw1··on How we built Hydrogen, a React framework for building custom storefronts
You have a very interesting comment history. Any reason you are trying to collect downvotes?
stefanvdw1··on Ask HN: How does HN manage to be always online?
I wouldn’t say it’s not user friendly but I understand where you are coming from. I also missed some more modern features/looks and decided to build my own open source client [0]. Feel free to give it a go to see if it’s more your taste!

stefanvdw1··on Show HN: Looking for feedback on Truegit, Git powered Blogging platform
Looks cool!

I currently run the blog on my own website [0] the same way using Nuxt/Content to render the markdown, generate static pages and host them for free on Render [1].

What would you say is the advantage of Truegit as opposed to a free setup like mine?

stefanvdw1··on DialMe – Brand-new phone number without purchasing hassle
Just a heads up, the website does not work well on mobile. A lot of text is cut off or outside the screen. Specifically on an iPhone SE
stefanvdw1··on LeekWars, program your AI to destroy your leek enemies
If been looking for a game like this or Robocode but where the code that you need to write is written in Rust. Does something like that exist?

What is this even supposed to mean?

Thanks!
stefanvdw1··on An Intro to Python Flask
Flask is what really got me in full stack web dev. Easy enough to start with and powerful enough for real products!

I can not recommend Miguel Grimberg’s Flask Mega-Tutorial[1] enough for beginners and novices. It is a bit more full stack focused, so if you are looking to use it for an API I’ve been maintaining a basic example [2].

Thanks for sharing this! Always interesting to see the tech stack for one-man projects like this
stefanvdw1··on Rijksmuseum to Stage the Largest Vermeer Exhibition in 2023
If you are curious to see some of their art, I’ve made a website which will show you a random object from their collection per button click: https://randomrijks.com
stefanvdw1··on Show HN: I built a fake VS Code to browse live cricket score in office
Clever! Next step would be to build a VSCode extension so you can actually work in VSCode and keep track of live cricket scores
stefanvdw1··on Show HN: Medusa – Open-source alternative to Shopify
Sounds great!

I’ll definitely reach out as it seems like a great platform after diving some more into it

stefanvdw1··on Show HN: Medusa – Open-source alternative to Shopify
Looks very good! I’ve been looking for a headless e-commerce solution for a new product for a while and I might go for Medusa.

One thing I was missing was a demo admin panel and demo store to get a bit of a feel for what is possible.

stefanvdw1··on A collection of free/public APIs you can use to build stuff
Nice list! I’ve used one of the art APIs listed, the Rijksmuseum one, to built a website which will show you a random object from their massive collection on each button click:

stefanvdw1··on Our plans to improve navigation on Gov.uk
I’ve heard good things about both plausible [0] and panelbear[1] as alternatives to Google Analytics. Can’t say I have tested them personally yet unfortunately.

Ah yes, the wonderful world of SCPs. When I first discovered the subreddit[0] I read through a ton of them. Some are very well written and the whole universe is very interesting. Would recommend to anyone interested in sci-fi.

stefanvdw1··on Show HN: Mail Studio – IDE for designing responsive emails
I’ve been using Bootstrap Studio[1] for a while now from the same company and I have to say I’m very satisfied. Updates are frequent, support is responsive and it’s easy to use.

Of course tools like this aren’t necessary to work with Bootstrap or create emails, but it has saved me a lot of time which is valuable in itself.

stefanvdw1··on Louvre makes its entire collection available online
Recently the Amsterdam Rijks Museum made their collection available via API, which I used to create website which will show you a random artwork on each button press:

https://randomrijks.com

stefanvdw1··on Show HN: Random Rijks – See a Random Artwork from the Amsterdam Rijks Museum
Thanks for the feedback!

I wanted the image of the artwork to be in full view when you load the page so putting the button at the top might not be the solution as this pushes the image down. I'll definitely look into this though since it's a good point

stefanvdw1··on Show HN: Random Rijks – See a Random Artwork from the Amsterdam Rijks Museum
Hi all,

The Rijks Museum has an API which offers access to a large part of their collection, including high quality images. Now that museums are closed I wanted a way to experience art so I built Random Rijks. It will show you a random object from the Rijks Museum collection, including objects not usually on display.

Any feedback is welcome!
